Hell yeah! Build Back Better am I right?!
In 2025, FEHB enrollees will see largest health premium increase in over a decade
Beginning in January, federal employees and annuitants in FEHB will pay an average of 13.5% more toward their health care premiums, according to OPM data.federalnewsnetwork.com
Beginning in January, federal employees and annuitants enrolled in FEHB will pay 13.5% more, on average, toward their health care premiums, according to data the Office of Personnel Management released Wednesday.
The significant premium increase for FEHB plan year 2025 follows a 7.7% jump for 2024, and an 8.7% increase in 2023. OPM said the increase reflects changes in the market over the last year, and generally aligns with other programs in the commercial market.
“The premium increases are due to the impact of price increases by providers and suppliers, increased utilization of certain prescription drugs and behavioral health spending,” OPM said. “Industry-wide cost pressures affect FEHB and PSHB rates similarly.”
In dollars, FEHB enrollees will begin paying an average of $26.10 more toward their biweekly health premiums in 2025.
Accounting for both the participant’s and the government’s shares of insurance costs, FEHB health premiums for enrollees will increase by 11.2% on average, when weighted with the government’s contribution, which is increasing by 10.1%.

If the sun disappeared tomorrow, the left would say it’s Donald Trump’s fault. But actual numerical indicators on how weak the economy has become and how out of control inflation has been has nothing to do with “the smartest man in the room.” Oh wait, or is he the new George Washington now for abdicating power? Can’t keep the liberal lies, gaslighting and re-writing of history straight.

Well if it’s anything like the dynamic of gas prices and how everyone said Biden doesn’t have any control over them then this is probably something you’ve watched too much skewed media to understand anything outside the bullshit they shovel in your mouth.
The president definitely has control over major and minor aspects of our economy, (fed interest rates being an example) especially when you fuck with oil, everything revolves around that particular commodity. Now you’re telling me OUR commander in chief (appointed over all federal employees) has no control over federal benefits and contractual healthcare costs? You need to wake the fuck up lmao.
For federal employees, the president can absolutely have an impact on contractual healthcare prices with OPM… which by the way have gone up significantly the last 3 years.

I don’t know if we’re seeing a failure of the public education system or a failure of some individuals to comprehend the material that was taught to them in those schools.

U.S. presidents don’t have authority directly over the Fed, but they do have certain powers that can impact the future of the Fed and its decisions, thus influencing what the Fed does. This is no different to any administration under authorization of the U.S. Government. That’s why it’s absolutely silly to sit here and act like Biden/Harris have NOTHING to do with our current economical state.
Ahh yes, maintaining your candid reputation on here I see. Thanks for the valuable dialogue lol.
Well considering they’re contractual rates between the providers and the OPM, I’d say influence from the White House certainly possible. Y’all talk like I think the president has direct control of everything and think even the slightest potential for indirect influence is absurd. Probably why nobody can have a logical conversation about anything with you, boots, 32 and DOD4Lyfe. Let’s all deflect and blow everything everyone says out of context. Libtards of a feather will flock together I suppose lol.
Nah it's you who does that. Is it *maybe* possible he *might* be able to *something*? Maybe. You have no fucking idea. But yea "BUILD BACK BETTER AMIRITE?

I don’t think it’s as far of a reach as you and the other brainwashed minions in here might think. I suppose an administration that runs an absolute shit economy has no direct or indirect influence on rising costs of things involved in an economy like fuel, cars, houses, insurance, food interest rates etc. which is what my original comment eluded to. You’d all rather sit here and gas-light because of an underlying hatred for anyone who disagrees with poopy-pants Joe. And hiding Harris who claims to lower the price of groceries if elected. Seems like something she could do now if she really wanted to make a meaningful move for middle class Americans.
I suppose one of you is now going to deflect again and say the president doesn’t have any control over the economy itself either.
The funniest part of all of this is, you guys think Kamala actually gives a fuck about you and it’s laughable!
So, they have SOMETHING to do with having higher GDP growth than under the previous administration, a stock market that keeps breaking all-time highs, and very low unemployment for nearly 4 years now (roughly 4% or less, which economists consider “full employment.)?
You don’t demonstrate a working knowledge of Econ 101. You keep talking about inflation as though that is the only economic metric that reveals the state of the economy. Year-over-year inflation is now down to 2.5%, which is close to the Fed’s target rate. How do the following metrics look since January 2021: GDP Growth, Stock Market Performance, Unemployment Rate, Wage Growth? Also, how does the U.S. economy (including inflation) compare to our competitor nations?
Is the president responsible for my great TSP performance since January 2021?

I like how they always break out the personal attacks when you challenge their gas-lighting. But we’re supposedly the fascists.
